A-1 | Noun | Strong's Number: g165 | Greek: aion |
Course:
"an age" (see AGE), is sometimes wrongly spoken of as a "dispensation," which does not mean a period of time, but a mode of dealing. It is translated "course" in Eph 2:2, "the course of this world," i.e., the cycle or present round of things.
See AGE, ETERNAL, EVER, WORLD.
A-2 | Noun | Strong's Number: g1408 | Greek: dromos |
Course:
properly, "a running, a race" (from edramon, "to run"), hence, metaphorically, denotes "a career, course of occupation, or of life," viewed in a special aspect, Act 13:25; 20:24; 2Ti 4:7.
A-3 | Noun | Strong's Number: g2183 | Greek: ephemeria |
Course:
primarily, "daily service," as, e.g., in the Sept. of 2Ch 13:11 (from epi, "upon, or by," hemera, "a day," Eng., "ephemeral"), hence denoted a "class," or "course," into which the priests were divided for the daily service in the Temple, each "class" serving for seven days (see 1Ch 9:25). In the NT it is used in Luk 1:5, 8.
Note: Cp. ephemeros, "daily (food)," Jam 2:15.
A-4 | Noun | Strong's Number: g5164 | Greek: trochos |

B-1 | Verb | Strong's Number: g5562 | Greek: choreo |
Course:
"to make room for, to go forward," is rendered "hath not free course," in Jhn 8:37, RV (AV, "hath no place").
See COME, No. 24.
